Why I started this page:
This page is to encourage me as well as others. I'm approaching the BIG 5-0, and, up until recently, that was a little HORRIFYING - until I grabbed hold of the attitude, "No, life doesn't end here; it begins".
All my life I have been insecure, never felt good enough for anyone, and, through all my self-doubts and self-loathing as a teen and adult, grew to think of myself as a joke...even 23 years after becoming a Christian. So when the revelation "It's time to live" smashed into me, I knew it was time to lay down the past and embrace the present, embrace my age, embrace me, and embrace being a woman. And I'm excited about that. :)
I have a lot of weight to lose - but won't worry about Before and After shots until I'm a bit further on from the 'BEFORE' photo, lol - and I have a comfort zone to step out of. During this journey, I hope to meet more women my age, "50 and over", who can be encouraged, and from whom I can receive encouragement. I will post articles I deem worthy of the reader, which will involve health and words of encoruagement and things in the like. I'm not here to sell anything - and I believe that in losing weight, and in gaining confidence and embracing 'self', no matter what age we are, we can do it without a drain on our finances, time and spirit.
Here's to you, ladies - here's to all of us! - as we step forth on a life we can and will find great joy in. Here's to greater health, self-acceptance and new dreams. God bless each and everyone of you abundantly.
PS. I am a Christian, so when a word of inspiration is pressed upon my heart, I will be posting that, also. :) It's all good. It's all about encouragement, life, love, peace, joy and freedom.
Now, spread your wings and let's fly! :) <3
